Calendar: Beer rally, Home & Garden Show, ‘Wicked’

No fancy graphics or photos here. Just the calendar. This weekend, “Wicked” continues at the Majestic Theatre. If you have not seen it, and you possess a beating heart, you must go see this show, you must. The San Antonio Home & Garden Show is THIS WEEKEND. My apologies for mentioning this as an event for last weekend. And the Rally for Texas Beer Freedom rally is Friday early evening at Main Plaza. Look for an expanded entry on that today.

Continue for complete listings. As always, these listings are the work of one Weekender calendar editor Stefanie Arias, aka “Stefanie’s Hall Pass.”
